It's a giant guardsman that appeared in episode 2 of the German audio plays. There, it was revealed that the Sands of Time once were populated by a foreign race of giants who left their polluted planet to regenerate. Before they travelled back to their home world, the giants merged alltheir evil into the being named Skeletor and sent him through time, so that they wouldn't destroy their planet again. In the episode, Skeletor throws Man-At-Arms into the past, knowing that He-Man would follow without a chance to return. When he arrived, he was attacked by the gigantic guardsman seen in that picture.
Trust me, the audio play is much better than you'd think.
I strongly doubt that Mattel's brand management even remembers that series, though.

Oh gosh, that's interesting. I'm very curious about how the Deimo character might relate to similarly named Demo-Man since both are related to Skeletor's origin. I tend to doubt Mattel has researched this story or wants to bring it into MOTUC mythology--but it's fascinating to think of the possibilities. Oh wait, Deimo was the artist! Man, I'm slow.

Good one! But if we get the Filmation rights, my first wanted giant is Kolossor!

I'd buy a Procrustus, but I would pass on the MYP giants. At $40 each plus shipping I don't need an entire line of giants in MOTUC. IMHO the MYP giants were fine as one off episode characters, but nothing really special or visually interesting.

'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).

I would support the MYP giants, but probably wouldn't be so excited about them. Buzz-Off's Pride was on of my least favorite episodes of the MYP series. And the giants were even pretty lame in Skeletor's Council of Evil.

Procrustus - I'll give him an enthusiastic "HELL YEAH!!!" He was be totally bad ass!!!
